Hi,
linux-3.0-rc fails to boot on a power7 system with 1TB ram and 896 CPUs.
While the initial boot log shows a soft-lockup [1], the machine is hung after.
Dropping into xmon shows the cpus are all struck at:

And shows same for all the CPUs.

--------------------
2.6.39 booted fine on the system and a git bisect shows commit cd4ea6ae -
"sched: Change NODE sched_domain group creation" as the cause.
